Strangely enough, the way that PieFed implements that, in the manner opposite of Lemmy, I see no content from Lemmy.ml users anywhere across all of Lemmy, yet I do oddly have access to those communities still:-). They are not entirely empty, but definitely far more so than the original, having only posts and comments from people on other instances contributing to them:-).
I like this approach much better actually.:-)
Daym, I need to get some of that pie.
It’s not fully ready yet, for someone who does not have an early adopter mindset, but it’s coming, and I’m able to use it as my daily driver already (with frequent fall-backs to Lemmy when I need something that PieFed hasn’t implemented yet).
I just heard that Andrew got a fork of Thunder working for PieFed. So… that will be helpful to see coming to the main branch at some point:-). ⚡
It’d be nice if they had lemmy api support.
In the strictest sense that will never happen, since PieFed is a functional replacement for Lemmy.
However, in the broadest sense it is very much on the way, since it implements the same ActivityPub protocol that Lemmy uses. So e.g. you replied to me from lemm.ee, a Lemmy instance, and I am now replying to you from piefed.social, a PieFed one.
It would be up to the app vendors if they, like Thunder, will add PieFed support to their software. Which should get easier after this first one?
I always imagine a better world, where ActivityPub c2s was actually good, and had support from most platforms.
If we build it, they will come…
And Andrew already built it for Thunder, so yeah, it’s happening!:-P

That’s because you see the content posted there by people from instances you’re federated with and that you haven’t blocked. Perfectly normal behavior.
If their instance was to block yours then you would only see the content posted by people from your own instance on theirs (as far as I understand from my experience with what l can see on Beehaw).
For a function that says “Block everyone from <instancename>”, PieFed’s ability here does remarkably exactly and precisely what it says that it will.
In contrast, Lemmy’s “block instance” does not block either the users or domains (the term that Mbin and PieFed use to refer to URLs originating from an instance), and instead might be better termed a community muting.
Though so few people use PieFed (it’s not ready for mainstream yet) and so many here use Lemmy, that the “expectations” are stilted towards what Lemmy offers by default, even as misnamed as it is (although iirc the Sync and Connect apps for Lemmy can also do a true instance user block).
